"On Earth lately, I've been looking at everyone // like I love them, & maybe I do. Or maybe I only love one person, & I'm beaming from it."

Screencap from "Dead Poets Society." A large school sits in the distance, partially hidden by fog. A few trees are visible in front of the building.
The caption reads: "-Poetry, beauty, romance, love. These are what we stay alive for."

"And a fish's good act, even the smallest affection, effectively done, is a glimpse into a human heart. And a glimpse into one heart is a glimpse into many. And the hopes of the bear are shared by all of humankind. And what opens one heart opens many."

"BUT THE SKY IS REALLY BEAUTIFUL RIGHT NOW AND I KNOW THAT I AM OFTEN SAD BUT THERE ARE MOMENTS WHEN I FALL IN LOVE WITH THE WORLD AND I ADORE ALL THE OXYGEN INSIDE MY LUNGS AND I'M NOT SCARED ANYMORE"

"My mother said that I could be anything I wanted - but I chose to live."

Screencaps from "As I was Moving Ahead Occasionally I Saw Brief Glimpses of Beauty."
The first scene shows a low quality image of a city street. Two people walk across a crosswalk. Cars are parked along the edges of the streets. The footage has been edited to have a blue tint.
The second scene shows a low quality image man standing beside a young girl. He leans down to be closer to her eye-level. The man holds a bowl up as he opens his hand to take something from the girl's hand. The footage has been edited to have a blue tint.
The caption reads: "It took me a long time to realize that it's love // that distinguishes man from stones, trees, rain, [...]"

"In the dark times, will there also be singing? / Yes, there will be singing. / About the dark times."

"FLEABAG / Except most people are- // BELINDA / What? // FLEABAG / Shit. // BELINDA / Look at me. / (beat) / Listen. / (beat) / People are all we've got. / (pause)"

Screencap from "Everything Everywhere All at Once." Two women stand in the parking lot of a lit store. They both lean forwards so their foreheads are pressed together.
The caption reads: "We can do whatever we want."

"(dec 30, 2020) anon said: // i realized today I want a life. I realized I want a wife and a dog and a house with double doors. Sunsets and sunrises give me hope, I love driving with the windows down. I realized that I wanted a life. It made me cry to understand this."

"When I woke up, I realized I was / capable of the same feeling. // I remember sounds like that from / my childhood, // laughter for no cause, simply / because the world is beautiful, / something like that."

sorry to break it to you folks but turns out that moving abroad by yourself and leaving everything behind at 22 years old does indeed fix all of your problems.
